How many of us have totally missed or ignored a warning sign before? If you commute to Nashville, TN or have ever driven through Atlanta you will observe probably one of the most ignored signs on the road - the HOV sign. In the Nashville area alone there are more than 64 miles of HOV lanes according to TDOT and they are in the process of upgrading signs and markings on Interstates 24, 40 and 65 at a cost of $2.9 million! Yes, we have signs and more signs but many will still probably ignore them. There was another group that ignored signs as well. These weren't road signs but signs that pointed to the Messiah. In our Explore the Bible study: What's the Sign, we will explore those signs they missed and the one's they ignored.

Here are some ideas to help you with the LOOK UP portion of the study that should help your group begin the conversation:

• Funny Signs: There is a website that collects funny signs. While you will need to be careful in choosing the ones to share it can serve as a great resource for beginning the discussion. The website is www.funnysigns.net.
• Yield Sign Challenge: Draw a yield sign outline on a markerboard. Poll the group to see if they think yield signs are yellow and black or red and white. Many will choose yellow and black. Yield signs haven't been yellow and black since 1971.
• Deer Crossing Road Sign Conversation: This is very funny! Click to Listen I have also provided the video below.
