When he said what he was going to preach, Bro. Segraves laughed with his bog ole laugh, thinking the guy was joking. Unfortunately, he was serious.

Sadly enough, I have heard this message preached in a Sunday service at a church that I used to attend.
It was the 5 stone, J-E-S-U-S theory. Thankfully, it didn't elaborate into the J = God's judgement and so on though.
I have heard wonderful sermons, but also many that could be contenders for your contest. Entire sermons based on using the wrong definition for a word (words that sound similar but are not), contorting of scriptures to prove a minimum 5% mandetory offering in addition to the tithe, a belief that actors are channeling spirits in order to play their roles in movies, etc.
Unfortunately, I have blocked them from my memory as a method of self preservation so I can't provide many details.
