What happens to the human soul between our death and our resurrection?

Isn't the message of Jesus that if we believe in Him we'll go to Heaven when we die? Actually, his message was more about Heaven coming here, and how we can be part of the Kingdom of God on Earth. In this introductory message to his teaching series on the afterlife and future events, Rev. Michael Fredericks helps us understand the grand narrative of Scripture and history, which is necessary to gain a truly Biblical perspective on Heaven and Hell and the future return of Christ.
