I don't see Paul preaching the Kingdom Gospel to the Gentiles. Do you? I haven't seen any quotes of such, and I'm left wondering at the silence. What we ARE told, even though Peter ministered to very few Gentiles by comparison, is this:
Galatians 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter;
So, taking one little example of Peter addressing Gentiles, and blowing it up into Peter being a minister unto the Gentiles in general when that was actually Paul's responsibility once the Lord had prepared him adequately for that task after revealing to Paul what Peter never knew anything about until hearing it from Paul, with Peter's assignment was as a minister to the "circumcision," which was Jews, as specifically stated in the above verse, we have to question such over-exaggerations of scope and assignment completely blown out of proportions.
So, yes, the Gospel shifted from the Kingdom to Grace, with the Kingdom Gospel falling away into utter silence under the dominance of the Gospel of Grace. The Kingdom Gospel required works, where the Grace Gospel requires no such thing given that good works toward others is a natural outflow of the grace granted unto us in this dispensation.
For those who may freak out over the use of the term "dispensation," as if that were an evil term, consider these:
1 Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me.
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: (Notice that Paul did not say US in the sense of it including the original twelve apostles at that time.)
Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
It's funny that there are some out there, generally speaking, who shiver with revulsion when they hear that term...

“don't see Paul preaching the Kingdom Gospel to the Gentiles. Do you? “
yes of course it’s in all of his writings but here’s an overview

i dont think you will acknowledge it but yes he was definately preaching the one and only gospel of Gods kingdom here are some clear examples
“And now, behold, I know that ye all, among
whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For
I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”

persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.”

shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV
It’s what they all preached Paul is no different
“But when they believed Philip preaching the things co
ncerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”
Acts 8:12 KJV
If we started here with Jesus word about it and believes the lord ….it’s easy to understand
“And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
paul was a servant and apostle of Jesus selected to preach the gospel to Jew and gentile no more and certainly no less just like the other apostles.
Paul is one of these
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 KJV
everything he was talking about relates to the gospel of the kingdom it’s full of grace and truth and righteousness and faith and salvetion for those who believe but we can’t remove the gospel and then select sentences from Paul claiming. A different gospel that isn’t the gospel God sent forth for salvstion of all people
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
The problem is o dont think you’ll acknolwedge that Paul was clearly preaching the gospel of Gods kingdom which began other the lord who preached it first and then sent out witnesses to everyone else
“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.”
Ephesians 5:5-7 KJV
the idea paul preached some new different gospel is a terribly erroneous thought bit with men like Paul Ellis and Joseph prince teaching it to people it’s reletively popular even though the Bible clearly rebukes the idea without a doubt
One way to reject the gospel is to create something else and call it the gospel
