Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Paul was recently invited to be a guest preacher last month. He's no longer on staff at a church and does not preach regularly, but it's one of his favorite things to do when he gets invited back into the pulpit. In today's episode, Paul preaches on Galatians

220, the danger of a gap in your gospel. If you want to listen to 150 archived sermons from his days

as a preaching pastor, you can find those on our dedicated Paul Tripp Sermon podcast. Just search Paul Tripp Sermon podcast on Apple,

Spotify, or wherever you subscribe to podcasts. Now here's Paul, teaching from Galatians 2.

Well, it is an honor for me to be here in this capacity this morning.

I have to say that the last couple of weeks, as I've prepared to preach,

my mind and heart were flooded with fond mermaids of my time here on the pastoral staff of 10th,

with Phil Reichen and Jonathan Olson and Marion Clark

and others. Second thing I would say is I noticed that they removed the clock at the back.

So I take that as a sign I have unlimited time. You can cancel your Monday appointment.

But my greater honor is that by God's grace,

I have been chosen to communicate this morning

the most glorious message you could ever hear.

You and I will never outgrow the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There will never be a moment when it is appropriate for you to hear again the simple message

of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

No matter how long you've known the Lord,

no matter how deep and expansive your theological knowledge is,

no matter how great your biblical literacy,

it is important for us to return again and again

to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
