I'm in the midst of a 3 part semon on called the "Church on Mission". It's my attempt to rearticulate for the many newcomers at SonRise the orginal vision of our church--that we will stive to be a "church on mission with God", (a.k.a. a missional church). We have talked from the beginning of our church about the need to avoid what I call "better burger christianity and the need to be mission driven rather than market driven. In my research I came across a great newletter on the gospel and our culture network website. It outlines the move of a typical modern evangelical church from the "seeker model" to a "missional model". It is well worth a read, expecially the narrative by the pastor who seeking to lead his congregation in this shift.
