Consider a geometric sequence \((a_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty }\). Let \(q\) be the quotient and \(s_{n}\) be the sum of the first \(n\) terms. Given \(a_{1} = 1\), \(a_{3} = 4\) and \(a_{2} > 0\), find the sum of the first four terms of the sequence.
\(s_{4} = 15\)
\(s_{4} = -5\)
\(s_{4} = 14\)
\(s_{4} = 8\)
