Pastor Mocks His Congregation For Being Too ‘Poor’ To Buy Him Expensive Watch

A Missouri pastor blasted his congregation for being poor and not buying him the expensive watch he asked for. The shameless pastor mocked his congregation for not ‘honoring’ him the way he felt that they should.

The clip was posted by a local digital news outlet called The Kansas City Defender and was taken from a live-streamed Sunday service at The Church of The Well in Kansas City earlier this month. The clip has since gone viral, amassing more than 550,000 views in four days.

“This is how I know you [are] still poor, broke, busted and disgusted, because of how you been honoring me,” Funderburke says in the clip. “I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money? I ain’t worth your St. John Knits? Y’all can’t afford it no how. I ain’t worth y’all Louis Vuitton? I ain’t worth your Prada? I’m not worth your Gucci?” he continues to question the congregation, prompting several people to shout “come on” back at him. “Mother, ooh, I’m saying this, and I promise you … it’s not with respect to want. I’m saying it because I want you to understand what God is saying.”

“I even found out that Movado, you can buy a Movado watch at Sam’s [Club],” Funderburke went on, prompting at least one congregant to shout back “yes, you can,” while another tapped him on the shoulder with something. “And y’all know I asked for one last year. Here it is, the whole way in August, and I still ain’t got it,” he said. “Y’all ain’t said nothing. Let me kick down the door and talk to my cheap sons and daughters.”

Kansas City Pastor GOES OFF on congregation calling them “poor, broke busted and disgusted” because they didn’t give him enough money to buy a new watch he’s been wanting. It’s pastors like these that give the church a bad name smh an also why a lot of our generation left the church. What y’all think? ?

Tithing is in the bible but this would have made me get up and leave. The pastor has since apologized but clearly, he has already expressed how he really feels about his church members. Would you still go here if this was your church?
