Yes, in around 5 billion years the sun will enter a red giant phase. In this phase the sun will expand greatly and the earth will be destroyed. After the red giant phase the sun will be reduced to its core and begin to cool down. This stage is the white dwarf phase. The sun will not go supernova as it does not have the necessary mass.
