Dec 20 Youth Sunday School Lesson 2026

“I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” December 20, 2026 · Malachi

"Feed my sheep." (John 21:16)

Teaching the youth is a sacred trust, and with Sunday School now a 25-minute class every week, every minute counts. These lessons follow Come, Follow Me — For Home and Church: Old Testament 2026 and turn each week into one big idea, a few great questions and plenty of room for the youth to talk. Simple to prepare, easy to adapt and centered on Jesus Christ.

These pages are a guide, not a script. You know your youth. Pray for them, follow the Spirit, use what fits and leave the rest.

✿ THE BIG IDEA The Lord loves us, invites us to return, opens the windows of heaven, and turns our hearts to our families.

"Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts." (Malachi 3:7)

✿ THIS WEEK'S PAGES • 25-minute plan with key verses and a ready-to-send text for your class • Three openers to choose from (Ask: "Wherein?", Show: "Windows", Real Life: "Family story"), plus an optional activity: "Windows of Heaven" • Eight discussion cards, including real-life scenarios • Study notes handout and two take-home cards per page • Closing words: "The windows of heaven open in many ways." (Elder Neil L. Andersen, “Tithing: Opening the Windows of Heaven”, October 2023) • Phone wallpaper: "I have loved you, saith the Lord" (Malachi 1:2)

✿ YOU'LL RECEIVE • 1 PDF, 6 pages: a welcome page plus the 5 lesson pages • 1 phone wallpaper (PNG)

✿ PRINTER FRIENDLY Every page has a white background with soft, light color accents, so it's easy on your ink and looks clean on plain paper. Sized for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in). For A4, choose "fit to page" when printing.
