Nomination #1...When I was in Bible School, a student preached in chapel about the five smooth stones that David gathered for his fight with Goliath and said they represented the letters, "J-E-S-U-S". The "J" stood for God's judgment, the "E" for God's everlasting arms (or something like that), and so on.
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.
Ugh...there goes my self preservation. This thread just dredged up a memory of what I think I would definitely have to classify as one of the worst sermons I have ever heard.
This sermon was given by an evangelist. He taught from this scripture:
1 Peter 3:6 (New International Version)
6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
His sermon basically taught that the married women needed to be like Sarah. Each morning they should kiss their husbands feet (I promise I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried) and address him by saying "My lord, how can I serve you today?"

Nomination #2.....An evangelist spoke about the process that Peter writes about, "add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance;" etc.
He then read the verse, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first" and used that to say the list in II Peter should actually be followed backwards.
ROFL . I really don't know. I think the audience was too shocked to laugh, but it did provide for some good inside jokes among the married couples later.
Of course the vast majority (>99%) of the church remained in noncompliance with this "teaching". The only woman I know who took the sermon to heart, ended up divorced a couple of years later.

It was truly bizarre and disturbing.
Heeeeyyyyyy.....I'm gonna preach this to my wife in a few minutes!!!

I had heard the J-E-S-U-S thing as sort of a joke, but this guy was dead serious. The biggest problem is, when "Jesus" is written in Greek or Hebrew, or a hundred other languages, how many letters does his name have?

Guess I don't see what the problem is.
