For many, the church is a place to go to find guidance, inspiration, and love. But one church in Kansas City recently got quite the sermon from their pastor who had some choice words for the congregation.

A report says Carlton Funderburke, Senior Pastor of Church at The Well in Kansas City, has issued an apology after a clip from a live stream of his sermon has gone viral. In the viral clip, the pastor seemingly calls his congregation, "... poor, broke, busted, and disgusting".

Funderburke reportedly says that even though there is context behind the content of the clip, no context would be enough to make up for the pain that he has caused through his words. The pastor goes on to say, "I have spoken to those I am accountable to and have received their correction and instruction. I have also privately apologized to our church who has extended their love and support to me", per the report.

In the viral clip, the pastor can be heard referring to "cheap sons and daughters of the church" who were apparently not honoring him properly. Reports say that a Movado watch was mentioned, as the pastor had apparently asked for it last year but still didn't receive it.
