It's an abundance that kinda goes against the word of Jesus? If they're "combining" that level of stage with a place of worship, I imagine that they should also be holding events at almost the same frequency of an opera house, and at the same level (and for the benefit of society). But in my experience, it's usually only used for preaching the word of Jesus... of which extravagance isn't a tenet

But that's just my 2 cents and despite the particulars of the photo, the point of the meme remains (at least to me). Jesus didn't preach about the "good of the Great Gatsby"; they just wanted people to love each other and be "good" to one another... not unwittenly flaunt their position of power
