Comment: These are all excellent sermon titles, big, spiritual concepts. "Immortality Brought to Light" obviously had something to do with 2 Tim. 1:10, "But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." "The Voice of Jesus," maybe Jesus with Mary Magdalene, John 20. As for those by Evangelist Harris, the first is definitely an Easter sermon. The second, "The Vision of a Redeemed World" might be evangelistic, but sounds like it'd have a very broad focus.
