A Missouri pastor berated his 'poor' congregation for not honoring him with a new expensive watch he asked for a year ago while reportedly delivering a sermon about 'taking care of God's shepherd.'

Pastor Carlton Funderburke, of Kansas City, was caught calling his congregation 'poor, broke, busted, and disgusted' after they still hadn't bought him an expensive Movado watch - which ranges in price from $395 to $3,295 - since he first asked for it in last year.

'I'm not worth your McDonald's money? I'm not worth your Red Lobster money?' he asked the Church at the Well congregation as he paced around on stage on August 7. 'I ain't worth your St. John Knits - y'all can't afford it no how.

“Why can’t he buy his own watch instead of trying to shake down the congregation?”

I don’t think you know how this works in this type of place

The Bible describes these self-centered freaks as “wolves coming in the side doors.”.....and they’ll try to escape when Jesus shows up. ....imho

He obviously is not as good as the one in New York who got 1M worth of bling stolen. A watch on each arm and all.

“They like their bling don’t they?”

They sure do. Back in the mid-70’s a Priest in one of our churches had a Cadillac Eldorado, Orchid color with a White Vinyl top. Personal license plate of ‘HGHOST’ had to see it to believe it.

The pastor might study this passage and consider it could be applied to not only the congregation, but himself as well.

“Freely you have received, freely give”

I picture them turning the camera around and seeing 10 or fewer people sitting there, half of whom are dozing off or looking at their smartphones.

You haven’t graduated to the big time grift until you convince the congregation that God wants them to buy you a top of the line business jet. You need it for all those vacations, I mean, “mission” trips to Las Vegas, New York and Hawaii.

He has plenty of company in the white preacher cohort. He has a long way to go to reach Ken Copeland, Jesse DuPlantis, Benny Hinn and Robert Tilton (and many more) territory.

I must up my game. I ask for chocolate brownies, cake or chocolate ice cream when preaching.

It’s truth dear. That’s not racist. Look at the uploaded vids of the same age group and younger. All they’re interested in is money, jewels, pimped out cars and guns. Go to any major city i.e. St. Louis, Chicago or just observe and you won’t be able to ignore the fact that they like their bling. Hell, watch OWN and all the delightful black programming offered. Sorry if you’re offended by the truth.

Its not even about that.
The Bible is pretty clear on material possessions.
Guess he missed this on part.

““Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”

Matthew 6:19-21

“Prophet Carlton Funderburke...“

If he was really a ‘prophet’, why was he surprised?
