Christians are NOT in the *final* heaven right now?!

Summary

The sermon explores the Christian theological concept of the "intermediate state" - what happens to souls immediately after death before the final judgment. Drawing from biblical references like Abraham's bosom, paradise, and Hades, the speaker explains that believers will experience a temporary state of bliss in Jesus' presence, while unbelievers will experience partial suffering. The key takeaway is that this intermediate state is temporary, and ultimately God will renew the earth and establish final destinations for believers and unbelievers, emphasizing that God's plan and judgment are sovereign, regardless of human perspective.
