When it does, does that that we will be sucked into the black hole? If it does I hope that I can tell as many people as I can about Jesus Christ's saving grace that last FOREVER.

In about 5 billion years, it will turn into a red giant and then a dwarf.

The sun will begin to die in about 5 billion years. At that time, it will run out of hydrogen, and begin to fuse helium. This will force it to "burn" hotter, which will cause it to expand into what is called a "red giant." It will swell until it swallows the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars; obliterating these planets. After around a million years or so, the sun will shrink again, and collapse under its own gravity. This collapse will shatter the electron shells of the atoms from which the sun is made, and it will become a star of dense matter called a "white dwarf." It will shine for several million years more in this state, fusing heavier and heavier elements together until it reaches the point of diminishing returns, and burns itself out.
So, no. The earth will be destroyed, but will not be sucked into a black hole, unless we encounter one having a different origin, since the sun is not destined to become a black hole.
But even though the Earth and the Heavens will pass away, the salvation we have in Christ Jesus does not.
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39

Scientist predict that the sun's death will not be for billions of years and are sun will not create a black hole for it is to small of a star. That leaves the rest of your life to try to convert people.

By the time the sun dies, Jesus will have come back or we'll be on other planets. Set your clock for about 5 billion years.

About 1-5 billion years, it loses its hydrogen that makes it bright and hot then it swells and becomes a red supergiant and then a white dwarf

The sun is expected to die sometime, but it may be a long time from now, who knows when it will happen. Jesus saved us all from that so there is no need to worry.

A few billion years. 3-5, maybe...Nothing to worry about, we will have destroyed ourselves LONG before that. BTW, NOTHING lasts forever.
