What happens when a Christian dies?

United Methodist pastor and theologian Matt O'Reilly keeps a blog called "Orthodoxy for Everyone" (formerly "Incarnatio") that I like to check from time to time.  As the title implies he writes to call everyone to a Biblical and orthodox Christian faith, worldview, and lifestyle.  I recently watched a video he had posted - part of the Seedbed/7 minute Seminary series - discussing the Biblical teaching concerning the afterlife of believers in Christ.  It is a quite good and straight-forward presentation of the classic and Biblical Christian teaching that has often been over-simplified or 'watered down' in Christian preaching and pop-theology.

Here is some great material for funeral sermons as well: What happens when a Christian dies?
